Alcohol intoxication is the result of alcohol entering the bloodstream faster than it can be metabolized by the liver, which breaks down the ethanol into non-intoxicating byproducts.
Emancipation. 1  On August 12, 2005, an Arizona law went into effect that permits minors who are at least 16 but not yet 18, to apply to be emancipated or to be declared legally an adult. The minor must prove they are financially self-sufficient and able to provide their own food, housing and medical care without parental assistance.
People are automatically emancipated when they turn 18 years old, gaining the rights and responsibilities of adulthood. However, 16 and 17 year-olds in Texas can be emancipated by a legal process known as âRemoval of Disabilities of Minority.â Parents cannot get a child emancipated. When you are emancipated you have certain types of legal restrictions removed so you can act as an adult in society.
